Hey guys, thanks in advance for any help offered. Im in the middle of setting up a dropshipping store. Ive figured out how to import my products from Alibaba using dropify. However, my problem, though it seems simple enough, has me stumped. Once I import any or all products, they baically all go on the front page of the store front, all kind of jumbled together. How do I segregate products by type for example. Example: have a category for cell phones. another category for laptops etc so that nothing is shown on the store front except buttons that will direct you to what it is you’re looking for. Did I explain that ok?
